Kim Soo-Hyun Sues Over AI-Faked Audio in Explosive Grooming Scandal

 

The grooming scandal involving Kim Soo-Hyun has taken a sharp legal turn. The South Korean actor filed fresh legal action against the family of the late actress Kim Sae-Ron and YouTuber Kim Se-Ui, intensifying an already tense case filled with serious claims and public backlash.

 

AI-Generated Audio at the Center of Controversy

 

According to the actor’s legal team, manipulated audio recordings were used to falsely accuse him of grooming Sae-Ron during her teenage years. These recordings, they claim, were generated using AI deep voice technology and presented at a May press conference by Kim Se-Ui, who runs the controversial Garo Sero Institute YouTube channel.

 

Shocking Claims of a Romantic Relationship and Hitman Plot

 

The audio alleged a romantic relationship between Kim Soo-Hyun and Sae-Ron that began while she was still in middle school. It also claimed that the actor offered ₩4 billion to suppress the recording and, after being rejected, tried to hire hitmen. The actor’s representatives dismissed these as “baseless fabrications.”

 

Counter Complaints and Defamation Charges Filed

 

In response to these claims, Sae-Ron’s family lodged a criminal complaint accusing Kim Soo-Hyun of violating the Child Welfare Act. His agency, Gold Medalist, called the complaint a result of forged evidence and filed a counter-complaint for false accusation, malicious prosecution, and defamation.

 

Wider Legal Fallout After Sae-Ron’s Passing

 

The ongoing legal battle is yet another outbreak of multiple lawsuits following the tragic death of Sae-Ron earlier this year. Sae-Ron's former manager has also brought a defamation suit against yet another YouTuber, stretching the scandal's legal web another bit.

 

Public Backlash and Career Consequences for Kim Soo-Hyun

 

The case has gripped the South Korean public. It has raised issues over the misuse of AI, fake digital content, and the ethics surrounding posthumous allegations. Once considered a superstar by productions such as My Love from the Star, Kim Soo-Hyun now stands with an uncertain career as endorsement deals get canceled and aggressive social media campaigns are calling for his complete removal from public life.

 

Actor Vows to Fight Back Amid Digital Misinformation

 

Kim Soo-Hyun is still retaliating in courts from court after the storm hit. His camp remains firmly steadfast, determined to prove that the accusations are false and that whoever the accused parties were responsible for the damage caused by digital misinformation and manipulated content.

 

Alarming Mix of Fame and Fake Technology Coming Out in This Scandal

 

Going deeper into the investigations, it has now become more than just a celebrity scandal. This case reflects the darker sides of fame, technology, and unwarranted online narratives.
